The best thing about barn finds is that they represent a new beginning for a car sitting inside for years or sometimes decades.
However, there are cases when a barn find becomes a fantastic discovery, bringing back cars that didn't deserve to remain in hiding.
This 1970 Dodge Super Bee is the best example. I won't talk much about the Super Bee and its legacy in the automotive market and in the Dodge world because most petrolheads already know what it's all about. However, I'll now say three words to get you excited: 440 Six Pack.
That's right, this Super Bee emerged from a barn with the massive 440 block under the hood. The Six Pack engine developed 390 horsepower and was a fantastic choice for a car like the Super Bee. It's unclear if this is the original engine, but eBay seller geneno40 reveals that the transmission is currently apart. The gearbox might not be original to the car, so you must thoroughly inspect this tidbit.
The owner shared a detailed description on eBay, and if you're interested in the car, you should check it out before bidding. The essential bits include the light rust, the solid floors, and the extra front bumper assembly.
The car has been sitting for God knows how long in a barn, and despite being buried alive, it managed to survive in incredible shape. The Super Bee rolled off the assembly lines with a black finish, and it's believed the original paint is still on the car. The seller explains that whoever gets the Super Bee will also receive the original build sheet.
It's hard to find a good reason to walk away, as this Super Bee checks all the essential boxes for a solid restoration candidate. The vehicle has indeed been sitting in a barn for a long time, and despite the challenging shape, it's a project whose place should be on the road. The engine under the hood is one of the main selling points, but you'll need a good mechanic to inspect it before committing to a purchase.
One of the reasons for inspecting everything thoroughly is the selling price. Such a rare Super Bee doesn't sell cheaply, so a detailed inspection or a third-party verification is recommended to know exactly what to expect.
The seller listed the car on eBay for auction, with nine bids already received. The top offer is $17,600, but considering the owner also enabled a reserve, the Internet must go higher to unlock it. The reserve's value is unknown, but considering the digital fight will end in approximately six days, it won't take long before we learn what happens with this Super Bee.
